Got an issue with your neighbors but don’t want to physically confront them? An interesting trend among frustrated neighbors is to use funny WiFi names to send passive-aggressive messages to each other. That way, every time someone within a few hundred feet goes to sign-in to a WiFi network, they will see your network’s name. It’s a perfect solution if you’re looking to avoid awkward face-to-face confrontations with a hostile or threatening person who lives nearby.
So if you have neighbors who leave cigarette butts everywhere, don’t pick up dog poop or have loud sex, then you might want to consider re-naming your network to something like this…

Stop Selling Drugs
Are your neighbors selling drugs? If so, you probably have all sorts of sketchy people hanging around your property. Telling them to stop via WiFi might help convince them to stop. If it doesn’t, then check out the next item.
